Overview

The Gantt chart allows you to represent project activities according to a time-based logic.

It is a central tool used to:

• organise activities over time
• visualise task sequences
• structure dependencies between tasks
• analyse the overall consistency of the schedule

In Tilos360, the Gantt chart complements the Time-Location diagram. While the Time-Location view highlights the position of activities along the project alignment, the Gantt chart provides a clearer view of their sequence over time.

The Gantt design view is accessible from the navigation sidebar of Tilos360.

Simply click the Gantt button dedicated to this view.

Once this view is open, you access the Gantt design interface, which allows you to create, organise and analyse the activities of the schedule.

The Gantt chart allows you to:

• create activities
• modify their main properties
• create links between activities
• organise the table and display
• filter or group information
• prepare printing or integration into a deliverable

It is therefore a working view particularly suited for building and reviewing the schedule.

The Gantt chart and the Time-Location diagram do not compete with each other. They address two different needs:

• the Gantt chart facilitates the temporal reading of the schedule
• the Time-Location diagram facilitates the spatio-temporal reading of the project

In practice, these two views are complementary and allow the same project to be analysed from different perspectives.

This part of the documentation details the main uses of the Gantt chart:

• Creating activities
• Creating links between activities
• Table organisation
• Display and navigation
• Filtering
• Grouping and sorting
• Printing and deliverables

These pages will guide you step by step through the use of the Gantt chart in Tilos360.
